Henry and Melvina are shown on the NYS census in the household of Bezaleel Thayer in Mexico Township, Oswego Co., NY in 1855. Henry is age 26 and Melvina 22. In 1860, they were a separate household but still in Mexico, and had children; Jerome 5, Ally 3, and Elnora 1. Succeeding census listings show the family in Albion, Oswego Co. Henry and Melvina apparently died between 1910 - 1920. I have been unable to locate their names in any of the cemeteries in the county. The children listed in 1870 census: Jerome, Alta, Mary, Henry, Burdette, George, Willard, Agnes. Any suggestions?
